Abstract
Every significant decision of a woman’s life is controlled by patriarchy. Her birth itself is still uncertain in many families in the twenty-first century. The issue of her oppression needs to be targeted strongly and at a larger level because such laws are very conveniently brushed aside. Inequality prevails in all sections and sectors of life and women suppression is normalised in every household. With each passing year, the Indian legal system is getting stricter and louder with women’s issues. This research paper will study the newer laws that were passed in favour of women in the recent years. It discusses ground-breaking judgements related to honour killing, sex selection and women discrimination, workplace related discrimination and laws and dowry related atrocities in the recent years. Supreme Court judgements on women-centred cases like Shakti Vahini v Union of India (2018), Voluntary Health Association of Panjab v. Union of India (2013), Land Inheritance Law amended in 2022, Khurana and Others v. Union of India and Others (2014) and some more have been studied to understand how women development is being backed up by our legal system.
